MECH ENG 3103 - Advanced Manufacturing Systems

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2021

Manufacturing engineering and quality engineering are core systems used by organisations in the process of developing new products and getting them into production. Topics include: technological and manufacturing paradigms and the process of innovation, supporting systems, methodologies and techniques comprising design for manufacture and assembly, failure mode effect analysis, process control plans, statistical process control, and 8D problem solving. A number of subject-matter experts from industry will present specific manufacturing and quality engineering systems and techniques, together with specific case studies to illustrate their application.

Specific Course Requirements

Students will be given the opportunity to make a formal visit to an advanced manufacturing facility. During the course of the industry visit students will see firsthand how the manufacturing and quality systems and techniques are used in the day to day operation of the production facility. All students are strongly encouraged to attend the industry visit to enhance their understanding of the Manufacturing Engineering and Quality Systems, their capacity to complete the assignments and exam as well as to better prepare themselves for employment opportunities.

The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
